I hope you get your packet 4 soon!

A question for you...

For packet 3, step 1, did you send these documents:

DS-230 Part I

DS-156 (2 forms - electronically completed)

DS-156K (hand written? )

And then for packet 3, step 2, you sent them the checklist ONLY?

Is that right?

Thanks!

Yes, I did read it in K1 forum.

I was just confused by this 156K form

It was listed under STEP 1 like this:

'Complete the single copy of the Form DS-156K, Nonimmigrant Fiance(e) Visa Application'

But it never said to either send it back in STEP 1 or keep it till the interview.

Thanks for clarifying this to me.

I will keep it till my interview.

Another day closer!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

It depends on where you're having your interview. In Montreal they ask you to send all your copies in by mail. In Vancouver we have to fax them in. That's the difference. I'd advise you to follow the Packet 3 instructions to the letter.

yes some peiople get confused, as they think the k1 process is the same for both Mtl and VAN, which it isnt!! Why ? who knows why they have to differ!!

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

YAY! I'm excited for you! Did they email you or did it come in the mail?

It makes me a little bit sad though, if your date was the 28th, then there's no way mine will be on the 10th. I was still really hoping for that.

Thank you! But don't feel discouraged as it was one of the dates i picked. I gave them three dates. I got it by email. Actually I sent them an email about 5 days ago and hadn't heard anything so I emailed them today and in a matter of about 5minutes i got one back telling me of my interview date. I think they only answer emails on Mondays and Firdays. I change my subject line first though. I put Attention KVisas:My Name,Case#. You should get yours really soon.
